Step‑by‑Step Registration and Verification on Betfair

First thing you’ll do is create an account. The sign‑up page asks for your name, date of birth, a valid Australian address and an email. Australian players must be at least 18 years old, and the system will cross‑check your details against the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) database.

After you submit the form, Betfair sends a verification email. Click the link, then you’ll be asked for a photo ID – driver’s licence or passport works fine – plus a proof of address such as a utility bill. The KYC (Know Your Customer) check usually finishes within a few minutes, but during peak times it can stretch to an hour.

• Use the same details you entered on your bank account
